It depends on how many pictures you want to take and how much weight you want to carry. In your case it looks like two camera batteries is enough for 1600 pictures, that may or may not be enough fo...
Blue may be somewhat more likely to let UV through if they are poor quality. Most sunglasses now carry some form of label regarding UV blocking. In photography, you often use an orange or red fil...
Considering I will always have my phone turned on while hiking There's a lot of variability in this, even given that you've specified airplane mode. Why is it on? Track logging with the scr...
I recently improvised this pour over solution while traveling and it's so simple, light, delicious, compostable and cheap, I've been taking it camping. Bring paper filters and ground coffee, and ...
It is not safe for cats! I have strays that sleep on my porch and I treated a hammock with diluted aerosole permethrin and caught a cat brushing on it and shood him off. A day later I found him lay...
There is a traditional way of doing it here in the south of Brazil, called "café tropeiro". You heat the water until it boils, then add coffee powder and mix it. The secret is to put some pieces ...
While not sure about the medical backing, from personal experience I once had HAPE and my oxygen reached 62% SpO2 by the time I was at the ER. I had one of those style canisters and I think it defi...
There is some evidence that increasing the concentration oxygen in the air breathed can help with mild symptoms of altitude sickness. Source here looks at long-term increases in oxygen concentrat...
By far my most comfortable pair of boots is leather, though they're only leather uppers, not leather soles, and they were approximately 3 times the price of the most expensive other footwear I've e...
In addition to Charlie's answer (damage to non-stick coating), I believe the more indirect and potentially hotter heat from a fire may damage the coating you can see on some of the handles. A stove...
A good cotton tent is expensive, but can be very good value as they last a lifetime and are childproof. In The Netherlands, families may camp up to 5–8 weeks per year, car camping on campgrounds i...
The reason that pan is not reccomended for campfire cooking is because it has a teflon non-stick coating which won't hand the heat. Over time exposure to high heat will deteriorate the surface....
It looks like they leave the burrow fairly quickly after you see them out and about so that shouldn't be a problem. Eastern chipmunks mate in early spring and again in early summer, producing l...
Consider buying a power bank with a solar charging panel; that lets you recover from an accident like leaving your phone on overnight with something consuming power. There are two main types on t...
I grew up car-camping in a frame tent (slept 4 in about 1/4 of the floor area). Those things are heavy. Seriously heavy. Lifting the fabric onto the central pole with that half-extended was hard...
I think your question spells out pretty well why people prefer other materials (cost,weight) and they really aren't used for backpacking where weight matters. The times I have ever seen them in us...
We have several feeders. Chickadees will eat nyger until the sunflower feeder is empty. Gold finch and purple finch seem to prefer the nyger seed. So far the only bird that eats millet seed (fou...
I make camp coffee as follows: I use large tin cans as pots. They can be gotten at any restaurant, cafeteria and hold about 3 quarts. It's quick work to add a wire bail to them. Morning coffe...
I run into similar problems on canoe trips. My camera is a through-the-lens viewfinder, not an electric screen. Doing an entire canoe trip (3 weeks) and taking ~500 frames is easy. In additio...
What I like to do is essentially make little tea bags but with coffee filled with coffee grounds. You take the filters you would normally filter your coffee through, put a little coffee in it and t...
Although this has been mentioned in some comments, it needs to be stressed more strongly: Do not rely exclusively on electronics for navigation, in particular not on a smartphone! You must always...
Indonesian "mud" coffee works fine. If coffee beans are ground sufficiently fine, you can just put some together with near-boiling water, stir a bit, wait 3-5 minutes and all of the grounds will s...
A couple of points that I think haven't been addressed: Charging efficiency is greatest when you are charging between around 20/30% and 80%. So try to not let it get below 20% and try to stop wh...
If you use just the forepart of your foot and your knees are close to the wall, your calves are already naturally at an angle where your feet exert pull. That makes it easier to bring your body cl...
Declination is simply the difference between the value you have, and the value you want. It's the difference between true and magnetic north. A good map will have both marked, it will also have "...
